Women’s Empowerment | Edith

Edith is from the Zomba district in Malawi. She is 27 years old and lives with her husband and three children. She is a baker, making lots of delicious goods like pancakes, doughnuts and samosas. When Opportunity International came to her village, we taught Edith and her fellow savings group members skills in finance and business, such as planning, budgeting and customer services. But Edith didn’t stop there. She was invited to share her passions in bakery and coach other women in her community who wished to start their own bakery businesses. She is currently mentoring 16 women. Edith wants to see more support for women in Malawi so that more women can feel confident in starting their own business.
